WORK WORK WORK!!!!!!!!

Well today I worked all day and it wasn't all that bad. They've hired a new bloke, Karston, he's 21 and waiting for his background check to pass so then he can go back to working as a cook at a retirement home. Melissa, my manager, is looking to me more and more for help. Her go to man, Jake, he is going on a mission the end of March. She is almost as neurotic and obsessive as I am. She has taken to giving me the more important thinking jobs and has started to give the more labor intensive jobs to Karston. Of course, I help him however she is kind of putting me in charge of things. I like being the one who does the thinking and is able to make things happen.
We got all of these stone garden fixtures in last week and I spent the day unpacking and putting together the fountains and statues. Melissa was quite happy with how I arranged everything. Then she gave me permission to arrange the Asian section. My idea was to put all of the Asian Decor over by the Koi ponds. She liked the idea and said that tomorrow they would put all of the stone over there and let me arrange it all when I come back on Thursday. I am hoping that I can help them to see that there is a need for a Bonsai section along with the Asian Decorations. The more I look around the store the more I find that they have a few of the tools and a lot of the soils and amenities that are used or sought after.
The Venturers are slowly planning out some of the activities that they want to do for the rest of the summer. We are getting the Lake Powell trip all thrown together and all planned out and they seem to be excited and we talked a bit about a fundraiser. The boys have seemed to stick around the idea of tree care and maintenance. They liked the idea of cutting down trees, I don't know how fun the clean up will be but I guess we will jump that hurdle when we get to it.
